Where to watch Dota 2 live DPC Season 2

Dota 2's Majors are generally streamed on both YouTube and Twitch, but since DPC is not an official tournament, but a qualifier, it is generally streamed on twitch. An enthusiast can watch it in game if they want to, in the watch section of the main menu as well.

If watched on twitch, the experience is more of an audience, where the Dota 2 casters show the most impotant part of the map, where fights are taking place, or where-ever some beautiful plays are being initiated by any team.

However, if watched in the in-game Dota-TV, it provides a more unfiltered experience of the game, where the viewer is free to watch the game of Dota 2 from the perspective of any particular player. It also acts as a great learning experience for the players who want to learn from the professionals.

Dota 2 in TwitchTV

On TwitchTV, viewers can watch it in a 10 second to 2 minute delay. On TwitchTV, apart from the official Dream League channel, one can also watch the game in the channels of different Dota 2 professionals, for example BananaSlammaJamma, or Admiral Bulldog for a more in-depth, and meme-ey analysis of the game of Dota 2.

It is extremely important for viewers to know that these channels, including the one mentioned above, do not stream each and every match, and it's dependant on their mood. They might even stop streaming midway and start streaming a match of their own if they wish to.

Readers can find a previous stream of the official DPC channel attached below.
